Re: psql history on OSX terminal

While I am not all *that* familiar with the Heroku version, it looks a bit like they are are linking against libreadline instead of libedit in order to maximize platform compatability with older revisions of OS X (10.6.x). Short of rebuilding against libedit on 10.8 I don't know that you have an easy fix.

In several of the installation methods (binary) the default terminal management routine has some issues (version linked to), but there are several other possible interactions. Which way did you install? which shell are you using in terminal? which version of OS X? All of these factors will help isolate the root of the problem.

The line still executes correctly, but it's driving me nuts. Google was not my friend. Any ideas?
